Back at the hotel and it's time for our final dinner. And here's the beer I had with it, which I pulled myself. It was a feature of our all-inclusive package that there were strategically placed pumps around the resort that you can pull your own beers at. Alternatively you can just go to the bar and get one pulled by a professional. Which was probably the smart thing to do given the number of self-pulled beers I had that consisted of around 80% froth.
Friday - Got up, had breakfast, packed, checked out of the hotel and drove to the airport for the flight home. It started raining as we left the hotel and continued to rain pretty much all the way to the airport. A good day to be going home.
We've had a really good time on La Palma and I might even go so far as to say that it's the most scenic of the five Canary Islands we've visited so far, with it's varied scenery and climate and excellent hiking trails. It's a curious place too though in that it's not heavily oriented towards the visiting tourists (yet), which is nice. But it'll likely be increasing numbers of visiting tourists that bring the money to provide the sort of roads that all of the larger Canary Islands benefit from. As brilliant as our hotel has been, it’s been a pain being so out of the way and having to drive up and down the hillside to and from the main road. If we visit again we shall almost certainly endeavour to stay somewhere more central on the island to limit the amount of driving we need to do to get to the places of interest.
